Britain-India undersea cable system to be launched in 2010




The system will utilise state-of-the-art next-generation technology designed to provide up to 3.84 terabits per second (Tbps) upgradeable transmission facilities that will support Internet, e-commerce, video, data and voice services.

In addition to complementing existing high-bandwidth cable systems in the region, the EIG cable will provide much-needed diversity for broadband traffic currently relying largely on traditional routes from Europe to India.

"This is important, considering the threat of earthquakes in this region," the consortium said after the signing of a construction and maintenance agreement Tuesday.

The EIG cable system, with its large bandwidth and high-quality transmission technology, will also help meet the present and future growth in telecommunications traffic between the targeted regions.
